[PATCH] pc8736x_gpio: fix re-modprobe errors: fix/finish cdev-init

- Switch from register_chrdev() to (register|alloc)_chrdev_region().

- use a cdev. This was intended for original patchset, but was
overlooked.

We use a single cdev for all pins (minor device-numbers), as gleaned
from cs5535_gpio, and in contrast to whats currently done in scx200_gpio
(which I'll fix soon)
